Matthew Weiner Has the DSM-IV to Thank for ‘Mad Men’

"I don't think it should be seen as an artistic triumph, I think it should be seen as someone who has OCD." —Matthew Weiner on his attention to detail in Mad Men [Chicago Tribune]

"I said to [Carlton Cuse] the other day, 'Do you know where this is going?' He says, 'Kind of!' I said, 'Okay, that's good enough!'" —Cheech Marin on Lost [IGN]

"I will occasionally listen to music. Or stuff that all sounds a little bit similar, like Feist. I'm a huge fan of two or three of her songs. I'm the same way with Cat Power, which I know is blasphemy, but I feel like it all sounds — it all hits this weird note. If you listen that stuff too much, you find yourself writing The Bell Jar Redux." —Sloane Crosley [A.V. Club]

"Absolutely truthfully? I fucking hate it. When I hear dum dum-dum dum-dum … I'm out the room." —Grease veteran Luke Goss on hearing "Summer Nights" on the radio [EW]

"If I get tickets to the All-Star Game out of this, the record will be a success." —Steve Wynn on his new band, the Baseball Project [Soundboard/LAT]
